About us

EUROPE CARGO is an international freight forwarding company that was established in 1992 in Antwerp as a complete service-provider towards local companies being involved in shipping, logistics & transport. The founding of our company was a result of the desire to service the Belgian market and provide a better and faster service towards our customers.

Over the years EUROPE CARGO developed itself into a more all-round player in this industry on the international market where today we still gain more and more market share in our industry of shipping and transport.

However the philosophy remained the same as from day 1 where we still strongly believe in our distinctive capabilities, providing an all-round service to our clientele, based on being an effective and efficient team, working on a personal basis with our esteemed customers.
